Has anyone else encountered a problem getting stores to tell you what day(s) they're expecting new stock?
I've had the most trouble with TRU, but it's happened at Target too. And Kmart employees are just oblivious.

I dont think it matters at KMart because they get stuff in and dont even bother putting it on the shelves.

i dont even bother asking. It seems pretty random to me when they get stuff in. Around the holiday season is a really good time to look but other than that its a crapshoot. I have a feeling that TRU is going to be getting alot of Elite 15 in pretty soon however, similiar to the crapload of Elite 13 they got.

My TRU just re-stocked with 13, again. It seems TRU is skipping some series with the re-stock. So far, I saw Series 8, 9, 10, 13, 14 (the cube, but never re-stocked) and 15.

The TRU guys have always told me the days when I asked. Since I don't have a TRU in town that helps during the holidays when the truck schedule seems to change weekly .
I don't know about the other stores, never asked. If my Kmarts get anything, it's put out on Tues or Wed.

It varies by store... I know all of mine but im not gonna share which they are on this board since i have competetion in my area if they dont know already..
Anyhow, just ask the right employee, you guys prob arent asking "cooler" employees... I havent had any issues with clerks telling me or even going and getting me figs. Hell i even had one TRU clerk volunteer the Truck info.. i didnt even have to ask ...lol

Well, I hear Thursday but they restock on random days. They either lie or have no idea what they are talking about.

I've found some good new stuff on Fridays at TRU - but it certainly isn't consistent.

I figured out my TRU on my own after stopping in there every day for a while. Their truck day was the only day that it seemed like more than 5 people were working in the store and they have close to 20 people stocking the shelves. I know it will change during the holiday season, but for now they only get one truck a week, always on the same day.

Target gets trucks every night, and there is no way of telling you what will be on each truck. So, yeah, don't ever expect an answer on that.

She was just walking around doing nothing. i worked at Super K and 1. product is probably on a pallet stack so going in the back would take someone forever to dig through all the pallets to find the one box you're looking for. 2. trucks come every week day so they really can't tell you when the toy truck will be there as it could literally be any day. |

I've had trouble with some people telling me. But if I go back on a different day and ask a different person, I can usually get results.
I've found out my Toys R Us restocks on Thursday and Target restocks on Mon, Wed, & Fri
